What does a gum abscess looks like?

A gum abscess typically appears as a swollen, red bump on the gum tissue, often filled with pus. It may be painful and can cause discomfort when chewing or touching the area. Surrounding tissues might also be inflamed, and there may be a noticeable bad taste or odor in the mouth. In some cases, the abscess can lead to a more serious infection if not treated promptly.
